Fluticasone Furoate -Vilanterol 100mcg-25mcg

What Is Fluticasone Furoate–Vilanterol 100mcg–25mcg

Fluticasone Furoate–Vilanterol 100mcg–25mcg is a breathing medicine used for long-term control of asthma and COPD (long-term lung disease that makes breathing difficult).

It is usually given as an inhaler. The medicine goes directly into the lungs, where it works better and faster.

This combination has two medicines:

Fluticasone furoate – a steroid (medicine that reduces swelling inside the airways)

Vilanterol – a long-acting bronchodilator (medicine that relaxes airway muscles and keeps them open for many hours)

A pulmonologist (lung specialist) prescribes this medicine when breathing problems happen regularly and need daily control.

In asthma and COPD, the airways become swollen and narrow. This makes it hard to breathe, especially during activity or at night.

This medicine helps reduce swelling and keeps the airways open, so breathing becomes easier and more stable.

How Fluticasone Furoate–Vilanterol 100mcg–25mcg Works

Fluticasone Furoate–Vilanterol 100mcg–25mcg works in two simple ways.

First, fluticasone reduces swelling inside the airways.

Swelling makes the airways narrow and sensitive. This leads to coughing and breathing problems.

When swelling reduces:

Airways become less narrow

Breathing becomes smoother

Irritation reduces

Second, vilanterol relaxes the muscles around the airways.

These muscles can tighten and block airflow.

When they relax:

Airways open wider

Air moves in and out easily

Breathing feels less heavy

Together, these two actions:

Keep airways open for a longer time

Control symptoms throughout the day

Help prevent breathing problems before they start
